Nice capture. I've been trying to do similar shots lately and out of 175 photos I think I got 3 strikes so far. I find the sky is a little to much and not enough of the ground. even when trying to shoot lightening you have to remember the RoT. You could also have cropped a lot from the top and made if look a little more panaramic. Either way I like it. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <7>
It's so nice to see a lighting image where the lightning doesn't fill the entire frame...I love how I can see the storm in it's entire context...gorgeous colors and wonderful depth..very nice.
